    Chica seed vanilla w/strawberries and banana
    Michael F.

    When I visit a new city, I try not to repeat restaurants for any meal. And while I did manage to explore some great food options while in the Dallas area, I did double dip for breakfast at The Bistro. Net, it was worth grabbing a second bite. The first of my three day stay, I just grabbed a juice on my way out. It was a bit pricy, but check out was quick. I got up a bit earlier day 2, so ordered this chica seed vanilla w/strawberries and banana dish to go. I don't remember the full name of it, but can say it was a healthy portion and came out promptly as well. The chica seed dish itself was just ok, but I loved the fresh fruit. My last day I still woke up early enough for a decent breakfast so I decided to dine in. I ordered a coffee and the avocado toast. The toast came on whole grain with pickled red onions, a hard-cooked egg, and a small bed of arugula. Again, a bit pricy for breakfast (but not for avocado toast), I was very satisfied with the dish. Actually, I wish I had ordered it the day before because it would be worth repeating. Service was quick on both my to-go and dine in days. The eating area was clean and it wasn't difficult to find a seat to relax. You can bill to your room or pay as you go. Net, an overall solid experience!

    Breakfast was good. They staff at breakfast was very accommodating. The night guy on Sunday wasn't accommodating at all hence why I call out the breakfast staff. Had the avocado toast with over medium eggs

    The service at the bistro is amazing. They all have such great attitudes and are so nice. So happy to come to the bistro after a long day of work. They have a decent variety of drinks and the food is good quality. Had the shrimp rigatoni in vodka sauce for dinner and was delicious. Just wanted to add that Henok is such a great host! What a breath of fresh air.

    My expectations were low for a restaurant in the lobby of a Courtyard by Marriott but they were FAR exceeded. Henok clearly takes great pride in his work. The Brussel sprouts dish was one of the best I've ever had (and I order them a lot). The flatbread was good too. You just never know!

    Conveniently located roughly 15 mins away from DFW, I chose this place exactly for that reason…read more I was flying home to LAX from Newark and since I have a good friend who lives in Dallas, I booked a flight that gave me a 5 hour layover at DFW so I could have dinner with said friend. DFW is massive. My friend was 30 mins late, but I wasn't trippin. I used that time to charge my phone and get a little work done. We didn't have a resy, but were seated right away. First of all, this place is massive. We both started with the espresso martini before realizing they had a happy hour menu. Our second drink was from the hh menu even though we had no business having a second cocktail. To start, we shared the fried green tomatoes. For whatever reason, we both ended up getting the western burger. Food was great. There was so much of it that I was only able to finish half and ended up taking the rest home. Great service as well. The place was crowded by the time we left. We only planned to stay for 45 minutes, but ended up staying for nearly 2 hours. Big thanks to the bartender. I went back to the airport a little tipsy after 2 drinks.

Clearly a popular spot. We shared an appetizer, a steak, sides, and a dessert between us 3. - Fried Tomatoes (appetizer): not bad! Light, not greasy at all, and that savory sauce on top was yummy: - Wagyu Tomahawk: the star of the show. Loved the peppered crust which was full of flavor. Not a true "Japanese wagyu" texture, but still an excellent steak overall. - Sides (mashed potatoes, fries, broccolini, cornbread): All pretty good across the board. I liked the cornbread the most and wished there was more of it. Usually a side of cornbread is much more substantial and comes with honey butter. - Steak sauce: we ask for a side of this. Whatever they had was unique and great. Fruity and tangy, a great complement to the tomahawk. - Pecan Pie: look at the photo! A huge, tall slice. No notes. Loved the dense ice cream on top. Perfect way to end the meal. Overall: no critiques, just an all-around great dinner. Definitely recommend the tomahawk and pie.

    My partner and I decided to give Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar in Irving a second chance…read moreafter a disappointing first visit due to poor service. After I left a review, the manager, Amanda Stewart, reached out personally, inviting me to call and share the details. Amanda, though new to the company, has years of industry experience and truly understands the value of great service. She apologized repeatedly and invited us back. We returned this past Thursday, and it was a complete turnaround. Amanda made sure we felt valued, and Damien, our server, was phenomenal. The food was spot-on, and the entire experience left us with a much brighter outlook. We will absolutely be returning. Thank you, Amanda, and thank you, Damien, for making it right.

    Tupelo Honey is a southern style restaurant chain that serves comfort food in a casual setting…read more They recently refreshed their menu, and they have become one of my favorite casual lunch spots in Irving-Las Colinas. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Tupelo Honey is a stand-alone restaurant conveniently located near Hwy 114 and 161. There's plenty of parking, outdoor seating, and a mixture of tables, booths, and bar seating. Speaking of the bar, it acts as a beautiful backdrop for the entire restaurant. 1 Star. Service - The service is always friendly. Our server is always smiling, and I can't help but feel welcome with southern charm. Tupelo Honey trains its staff well, and I really enjoy coming here and interacting with the staff. 1 Star. Food - I always begin with the Biscuits with a Cause. These light, flakey biscuits are served warm with a crispy exterior and soft, flakey inside. But honestly, the biscuits act as a delivery mechanism for the butter and blue berry jam. I always ask for an extra side of butter and jam because I use it all. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Honey Dusted Fried Chicken (dark). The chicken was perfectly fried, crispy, and sweet. And the dark meat was juicy. Pro Tips - use your hands. Another great dish was experienced. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I have yet to have a below average dish at Tupelo Honey. Yes, it's a chain. But it's also a darn good chain that keeps its menu fresh and is worth multiple visits. 1 Star.

    It's a chain. There's something about a chain restaurant that's polished and well fabricated…read more Something about it feels like a lab diamond. It's sparkly, but not intimate. It just feels very manufactured. The menu is varied. If you've read my reviews before, you know that I'm a Texa-fornian, so there are a lot of places in Texas that don't suit my palate (or my waist line.) I was easily able to find a couple of things that I would have enjoyed. Based solely on the calorie count, I picked the salmon with cauliflower rice. It was a little oily, but it was good. I cleaned the plate. It's dark inside, like a steakhouse. Not for me, but if that's your thing, you would be happy. It's clean the food's fresh and if you're a drinker, there is a lot of beer. I'm not a drinker. Maybe you're asking why did you even go? Someone gave me a gift card and someone gave my daughter a gift card, so we had to use them.

They're known for massively tall "yard" servings of beer, though I didn't see anyone trying one on my lunchtime visit. They do have a good 4 pages of beers on the menu! The place has high ceilings with exposed pipes lending an industrial vibe. The menu helpfully marks vegetarian options as well as lower calorie choices. I was impressed to see power outlets along the purse hooks below the bar - if you wanted to bring a laptop and catch up on work emails, it'd be possible. Our waitress was business-like and a little unfriendly, and service was terribly slow. The food was good. Free refills on our drinks flowed freely. I tried a veggie burger which was a bit spicy and oaty. I wish I'd tried a salad! Still, I appreciated that they worked with me on reserving tables for a large group all with separate checks.

    A gem in an otherwise culinary wasteland…read more This bistro is located off the main lobby of the Westin at DFW. There are multiple budget hotels in the area and the only food choices within reasonable walking distance are Denny's, gas stations and an outdoor food shed at another motel. There is a well curated list of local craft beers (8). Make a point to ask for the separate alternative "healthy menu". The food on that menu is very different from the comfort food on the main menu and it is available in half orders. I tried a half order of chicken and avocado arepas and a half order of tuna tataki. Both were delicious and visually pleasing. Staff is attentive, engaged but not intrusive. Prices for these two items were $8 each, very reasonable.

    Hotel restaurant inside the Westin that is above average for a typical hotel lobby restaurant/bar…read more I was in town for a week of training with bizarre hours so there were a few times I chose to eat here out of convenience. This includes a few nights at the bar and 2 nights in my room. The staff was never overly inviting but they were usually busy with a demanding crowd of hotel guests. Ordering through the Marriott app looked like a great option but it wouldn't work once they asked you how you'd like to pay. When you go downstairs and scan their QR code, it brings you to the same interface but on a website rather than an app, and that worked fine. The chicken wrap with fries was pretty good and was my go to. The house salad wasn't great and I wouldn't try it again. The half order of the tuna was decent but I loved the pickled veggies under them and would have just had a bowl of those! I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but having this inside your hotel for convenience is nice.
